The bride with her father, Garth

CLITHEROE couple Gaynor Sut cliffe and Peter Riley knew they wanted to marry in style... 1940s style! St Mary’s Centre was the venue
’ for their celebrations, with guests ■ all observing the vintage 1940s dress code and the happy couple danced their'way to making their vows as they entertained their family and friends.
. ' - ' Both members of the .Swing
; Commanders, the couple have been together for seven years and have a daughter, Maisie-Jo (5). ' ’ '
’ Peter (47), the lead sin^ger of the ■ band and who also plays double bass and guitar, said that their love of music had brousht them together.
. and there was no other option than, to have the beautiful era of the 1940s as the back drop to their big. day.
'' >•■ •“■We were never going to have a
run-of-the-mill wedding. The way we have done it feels right for us,” he explained. Guests were treated to a violin

www.clitheroeadvertiser.co.uk ■ Help our By Katie Hammond
A HEARTWARMING message of appreciation which illustrates the core aim behind our annual Toy Appeal was received this week. “Because of the help you’ve given
me and my family in the past, I no longer have the massive burden of worrying about Christmas and how we will manage to buy toys and presents for our children”. Capt. Elizabeth Smith of the Clit
heroe branch of the Salvation Army explained: “We received this mes sage from, a young mother in the area and it really hit home that we can achieve what we originally set out to do. Our sole aim is to help families in need at Christmas and that’s exactly what this town and surrounding communities are do ing when they donate presents and toys to the Toy Appeal. The news paper acts as a great medium to get the message out there and we need people to respond more than ever.” We want to make sure we have a
main present and stocking fillers for every deserving child whose name is put forward and that means a large number of presents are needed. Donations have been steadily flow-

ing into the Clitheroe Advertiser, and Times offices on King'Street and to the Salvation Army shop in Lowergate, but we are looking to up the volume and try to achieve the best ever results for our fantastic appeal. Advertiser and Times Editor,
Roy Prenton said; “I t ’s been great- to see the presents and toys coming in and the generosity of the readers
responding to the appeal shows that
' community spirit is alive and well, even in this year’s tougher climate. We need to boost this year’s volume of toys and I encourage anyone who hasn’t yet made a donation to sup port our appeal in whatever.way they can”. • Capt. Smith again stressed that if
someone is unsure as to what to buy, a monetary donation will be mas

“Last year, a couple of local com-
:■ panics held festive gift days and encouraged employees to bring in a giff to donate to the appeal. An other good idea is to take advan tage of the multi-buy offers in the supermarkets and on the high street by donating the “free” gift - this is particularly apt in the current cli mate as it costs no more to donate if you’re buying presents for friends and family anyway.” This year’s appeal will close on
Friday, December 17th. Please lend your help to make it the best ever for our families and children; • Names have already been tak
en from people wanting to attend the Salvation Army’s Christmas Day lunch. Transport to and from the Low

who would like to go along, just telephone Capt. Smith on 07709 351394.
A FESTIVE Christmas market will be held at Backridge on Twitter Lane, Wad dington, this weekend. The event, which kicks off at 10 a.m. on
Saturday and Sunday finishing at 5 p.m, will feature a wide range of Lancashire’s craftspeople and food producers sell ing original, high quality and well priced presents and goodies that are not avail able on the high street. As well as a traditional barbecue and
cbmplimentaty wine; candle and giftware store Melt will be serving their famous free mulled wine all weekend, while cook and kitchenware specialists Silver Nut meg will be serving roasted chestnuts. • Musical entertainment around, the
Christmas tree will feature throughout including festive buskers, traditional brass band and the Clitheroe Pop Choir on Sunday afternoon.. James the Donkey will also be in resi-
dence in a specially made stable created by Backridge-based play equipment supplier Woodstoc, and local sto^teller Mrs Jelly will be hosting Christmas story time for the younger children on Sunday. Backridge owner Richard Drinkall said: “Backridge really does come into its own in the run up to Christmas and looks very festive.” .:
. Entry to the Christmas Market is com
pletely free although local cadets are also attending collecting on behalf of Help for Heroes. .
